Junius o. Jones, young gentleman who
lives on Oregon Hill, and Miss Josie F.
Pettitt, very pretty young lady whose

ment. Finally Mrs. Petttt agreed to give
her entire consent. and the marriage license
was issued Mr.. Jones said he was thirty

that she was only eighteen. She declared
that she was dead in love with Mr.. Jones,
whom she several times addressed as Junius.
and Mr.. Joues, who called his intended
Josie, said that the feeling was reciprocated.
Before leaving the clerks office the
bride and groom related experiences of their
trip to Alexandria, where they were under
arrest. Miss Josie was detained in the
Mayors office Tuesday night and the Of
fcers told Mr.. Jones that he was free to go
